Ian does a great job in taking you through the whole mixing process of a song. he very clearly explains the many mixing decisions and approaches one at a time and provides guidance in listening to the results. this class is very instructive and a pleasure to attend. awesome.

This isn't exactly a complete start-to-finish mixing tutorial, but you do get a good overview of the important mixing decisions and rationale behind them. Viewers will need a solid understanding of mixing concepts, so this course is not really suitable for beginners.
